I was sorry Kimmie hurt herself with that ankle twist. But I have to say she didn't seem to be enjoying herself out there, in this match or her previous one, and I'm glad she withdrew. She just wasn't her normal affable self.

Perhaps her back and hip probs have worn down her usually sunny disposition. She would have had another not-very-happy experience had she advanced to the final.

Hope she is back and playing and being happy soon.

I hope these injuries don't push her closer to retirement. I like watching her game. Her forehand is a rocket. Plus it's kind of cool seeing shrek play tennis .
